Abstract:

It is not uncommon to receive patients in the Accident and Emergency department with history of food bolus impaction in the upper gastro-intestinal tract or of ingestion of foreign bodies. We present a rare and unusual case of mobile phone ingestion that was retrieved successfully from the stomach by flexible upper gastro-intestinal (GI) endoscopy at our hospital. We did not find any other case report of mobile phone ingestion followed by successful endoscopic retrieval in the available English medical literature.
